I think that's a moving walkway. Escalators are more like stairs.

were you trying to aim for that dreamy effect? to be honest, it wouldn't look good on this type of picture. and i agree that quality doesn't help with this at all...



i was thinking of making this image more futuristic or retro

are you trying to repair the bad quality? is there a reason you're doing this? is it part of a bigger project? are you planning on using it for something? you haven't given us any context whatsoever, so i don't get what kind of critique you want.

if it's just a case of you trying to take a bad image and make it look better...i think it looks worse edited. it's overly saturated, overly contrasted, and has even more blown out exposure. i think it just makes it more obvious that it's bad quality.

You didn't specify to anyone anything about the quality, so I say it's a pretty good critique. Aside from that, why on earth would you even use a low quality image to work with in the first place? You need to use better looking photos than that, because I can see some scattered pixels on certain parts of the image.

I can't say much now anyhow, since everything has already pretty much been summed up.

I will say that I laugh at the top rating; one star because it's a meaningless design, and an extra star for at least trying. laugh.gif

....another one?

Imo I like the colour and the concept, but it's a look too fuzzy/blurry

To me I think using the sharpening tool first, then adding a little blur would look less....messy? I dont know what word to say for that ^^;;

you don't tell us anything in the first post, it's the same thing every time. you don't tell us a purpose or why you're using a picture or what it's for. are we supposed to read your mind?

i apologize 4 that, im looking for critique but why would "who/wat" im doing it for make a difference? the only difference i see is if it was labeled as a meaningless design you guys wouldnt even look at it

because the purpose of a design shapes the entire design? something to be used on a cd cover is completely different than something to be used for a poster. an image that you are trying to make look better for the sake of practicing retouching is completely different than an image that you plan to use. the critique is completely different. i would think that would be obvious.

ok, then this was given to me by someone to "enhance" it is something they took a picture of and would like it to be retouched, its not 4 a cd cover/poster or any of that. I am also using it to practice, so if you would like to give me ideas of/or certain effects to help enhance this then be my guest...

Is this kind-of like what everyone is talking about (I know there are prolly a lot of mistakes but my hand is really shaky today and Im a little rusty on my skills )

I think your coloring is the best but Steph's editing is better. She tried to make the quality better. I'd try and do what she did except for the blurring part because she only blurred one area and it's pretty obvious lol. It looks alright though! Just work on it some more.
